The Best of His 1980s Material

"The closest Tony got to famous in America was with his Planet P Project albums from 1983 and 1984 that got good rotation on MTV then. Some will recall his work in Rainbow during the late 1970s. American pop music radio then was not in Tony's future after Planet P with the possible exception of "I Won't Be Home Tonight" (sadly not included on this disc). Most of his fans learned of Carey's work then from college radio where his five albums from the 1980s got fairly regular play. He also was embraced then by the music scene in West Germany producing many soundtrack songs for German movies. This greatest hits package does a great job summarizing his own material up through 1989. There is no Planet P but, each cut is a great choice starting with "A Fine, Fine Day" which did quite well on college radio. The next nine cuts create a relaxing ambiance while not putting you to sleep. The bottom line: Pick this up if you are new or fairly new to Tony Carey's music. It is a great starting point that I believe will make a fan out of you who will want more. Those who are dedicated fans will find nothing new save for the remix of "Bedtime Story". As a note, I have most all of his music but, find I pull this disc out most of when I am in the mood for "some TC"."

A nice collection of songs

"This is a nice collection of Tony Carey songs. It comes from three different albums not his whole collection. I think it could of had more songs on than it does but the one's on it are good. It would be good to see another collection of his that would encompass something off everyone one of his cd's especially tracks off of hard to find cd's the long road home, storyville, and cold war kids."

Pretty good collesction

"This is a pretty good coolection of material from the 80's. The best selections on the cd are Fine, Fine Day, Lonelt Life. I don't like the bedtime story remix as well as the version that's on bedtime story, I wished they would of put keeping the tigers away on it instead of friends(which is a pretty good song. I believe tear down the walls or out of town woman would have been a better selction instead of she moves like a dancer from blue highway cd."
